New thread for a new parawing "brand" I guess. yeah they have a lot going on there!

Yeah. $300-$500 or so is WAY more reasonable. Gives us an idea of the markup on the others.

Would almost be tempted to buy the highest performance double skin model to go upwind with the paddle on my back. Pack it down while sitting, into the backpack. Still going to be lighter than the lightest inflatable. My backpack ends up weighing over 4Kg with a wet wing in it

True that!

Honestly ditching the pump and having something easy to paddle in when the wind dies is a huge appeal.
Unsure I'd want to give up being able to douse it downwind though.

I like the look of the Neutra.

Apparently 20% import duties if your order ? $1000. Somethign to keep in mind.

You won't have to pay VAT though so it should be close to evening out I would think?

keep your Gong order under $800 to avoid the US import duty tax. Different items have different HS codes (import duty), but US customs charge based on the first line on your invoice -- there is a site for looking them up. When building your shopping cart, make the first item some small carbon part or a screw. US Customs supply documentation on how they apply the tax. I've figured this out together with Gong customer service after 3 gong shipments over two years that were over 800 each. Not paying VAT evens out what we pay for shipping from France.
